The paintings of our little students from first and second grades. The topic was: "My inspirational teacher"

It was really interesting to hear the smart answers on the question: "Who is the teacher who inspires you?" First we needed to explain what exactly means "inspire" to the smaller students, but when they got the idea.... they started giving a lot of ideas, explanations and answers to this question...and to the question "Why he or she inspires you?"Simge from first grade: "Mrs. Marinova inspires me, because she always knows everything. She is kind and always helping to me and my friends".Dzengiz form second grade: "I've painted Mrs. Yankova, because she is beautiful and smart... and she never gives up".

dariknews.bg/view_article.php?article_id=1614938​When we came back from our visit in Poland we had a lot of materials in our local newspapers and media websites. Here is the link of one of the websites which wrote about our visit and our participation in the Erasmus project. We hope that we will whip up the attention of the local community.

The teacher who inspires me...

Today we have finished with the task to write an essay about one inspiring teacher or about the teacher of student's dreams. The good news is that all the students who took part in this task, have written of an exact, real person, which means that they don't need to dream about him/ her, because they have already met her/him. We received really kind essays, with beautiful drawings and really nice words. All the students have mentioned that their inspiring teacher is brave, kind, intelligent, full of new and interesting information, honest and a good professional. There is one really important thing to point out - all the students really appreciate teachers who are helping them to be more prepared for the life after school and who are giving to them practical and wise advises. It was a big pleasure for us to read all these essays because they are the prove that we are doing the right thing and we should keep on going.As a conclusion it's important to mention some of the names, we found in these essays: Mr. Ivan Stefanov, Mrs. Dora Tsvetkova, Mrs. Sevdalina Petkova, Mr. Fahri Ferzuev... Big thank you to all of the teachers in our school for being an inspiration for their students!

The most exciting "Orientation trip"!

On 7th of November, the School Parliament of "Ivan S. Turgenev" Primary School made it's Orientation trip in the city center of Razgrad. Students have been divided into two groups - the group of the boys and the group of the girls. Both of the groups had several of different tasks to complete in different places in the city center. All of the tasks had the main aim to make the students go out of their comfort zone and to learn new things for themselves and for the others. Some of the tasks were to go to the central market and ask for the prices of the vegetables and the flowers; to make a picture with one seller; to go in the nearby hospital and search for the names of some of the doctors and many others... It was really interesting for the students to complete the tasks.In the end the two groups went together and made a short reflection on what they have learned and how they felt during the tasks. For sure now they know each other better and it will be easier for them to work together.They are waiting for second edition of Orientation trip with new challenges :)We also made a short Evaluation with them on Facebook. You can see the results in the pictures

CHARITY EVERYWHERE...

It was really, really important month for our students and for the activities in our school. As we have mentioned in Cyprus, our Parliament has decided to donate the money from our Christmas Charity Fair for the Rest Home in Razgrad, but unfortunatelly a big tragedy has happened in a nearby village, called Hitrino and our students decidet to donate the money for the people from Hitrino who have lost their houses and some of them - their siblings. So..our Parliament has decied to donate to the Rest Home something more important - their time - and the students have organized a small programe with games for the grandmothers and the grandfathers. The most importhant thing was that the smaler students decided to take part in the Charity Fair and they have organized their own Fair and they also raised money for the cause. The whole school was united around something really important and we are happy to publish our results here and share with you the atmosphere from our events.

Charity again​Saint Valentine's day! Love is in the air...

A week before the day of Saint Valentine students started a charity campaign for the shelter for dogs in Razgrad. They made postcards and "Valentines" and sold them to other students ans teachers from the school. Their aim was to collect money to buy some food, bones and sweets for the dogs in the shelter. Everybody took part in the campaign, some of them made and some of them bought the crafts because all the students are dog lovers and they wanted to show their love and sympathy.On 14th of February we had really a Cupid who delivered the cards for the students and the teachers. It was really nice initiative because we all showed that love is not only for human beings but for each live creature.

Seminar about wasting food

School council students presented to little students in the school videos clips of starving children worldwide,especially in Africa.They were really impressed to see these little children-without food,water and clothes and some of them cried of sympathy and sadness.School council students wanted to accent on that to be thankful to the beautiful and fertile nature of their country and their parents who tried to provide them everything but there are children who don't have even the elementary-food and water.A presentation how to eat and be healthy was showed to children as well.
